In terms of spectacular wealth, I don’t think this home compares with current mansions being built in the U.S. funded with money created from slaves toiling in Red China.

But the continued use of slave labor is on us, not our great, great, great grandparents so let’s just forget about what is happening right now.

Go look at how some old barns are kept together with pegs to get an idea of how we engineered such things, then go really look around an older, Victorian style funeral home to see how some kids may have come down those steps on Christmas morning.

IMO, we've relinquished a lot for the cause of progress and simplicity.
